Iron Sky, our dark scifi comedy about Nazis from the dark side of the Moon. We are doing a video diary of sorts about how the project is progressing called Iron Sky Signal. We just got the latest episode up yesterday, this one is about our trip to Berlin to visit our art department. You can find the older episodes from our Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/energiaproductions

(A small disclaimer: in addition to being a Whitechapeler I am the publicist and making of producer of this movie. So if me linking our video diaries or stuff here feels too much like commercial promotion, feel free to smack this thread down and out like a red haired stepchild.) ]]>

Yesterday we filmed the first shots that are actually going to be seen in the movie, and hopefully in some other stuff before the summer. Here's the blog post with more pics!

One thing I'm curious about - I had the impression that StarWreck was essentially a fan-film that got out of control. This seems more deliberately produced, yet you are still open to contributions and soliciting some level of participation from the online community. Your site states "produced by Energia Productions, Blind Spot Pictures and co-produced by 27 Films" - but I'm really curious what that means exactly.

This is just curiosity, so if you can't get into details I totally understand, but how are you guys producing this? Did you raise money from investors? Government or creative grants? Personal contributions?

The process of figuring out how to produce a feature film outside of the traditional system, and especially ways of doing that which leverage online communities, is something I'm always trying to find more examples of. I was following the progress of a film called Man Conquers Space for a while, but that one got to a certain point and then abandoned it's online community based funding and fell into some kind of version of a more traditional "Development Hell" black hole. (Checking back in on him right now, it looks like that filmmaker is in the process of regaining control of his project and possibly returning to a more modest production budget.)

Can you talk at all about the balance you guys are striking? Is everyone on some kind of payroll, or deferring salaries to potential profit share, or just straight up volunteering, or a mix? Do you know how money was raised? Is this a project being driven by a central auteur, or is it more of a group ambition?

I'd love to know more! ]]>

http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7899&Focus=230478#Comment_230478Sun, 11 Apr 2010 01:23:04 -0500VornaskottiI'm happy to talk more about the movie and our communal approach to filmmaking - there's stuff we can't reveal yet, but much what we can. But in any case, essentially Iron Sky is a "proper" movie project: the budget is over 5.5 million euros and it has been raised from investors, different kinds of national and local film foundations and so on. We are also doing crowd funding, one example was selling War Bonds and currently we are selling all kinds of merchandize, and a 100 euro support kit that contains them all. We are also ramping up the crowd funding far more, but that's something I can't go into details just yet.

Blind Spot Pictures is a traditional movie production house that has a bunch of movies under their belt, for example The Jade Warrior, and 27 Films are co-producers in Germany where we will be shooting and creating parts of the film. Then there's the production company Energia, which was founded by the guys who made Star Wreck, which is more unorthodox and nowadays concentrated on CGI effects. Basically we have stitched together a traditional movie business and a very untraditional community based approach. In a film like Iron Sky, where you have to handle hundreds of variables across several countries, and relatively huge amounts of money, you really do need the full movie making machinery to make things work. That's where the production companies come in: they have the knowhow to figure out how to do the logistics of bigger scale movie production, which has a lot of pitfalls.

Basically everybody who's actually working for the project is doing it on salary and employed or subcontracted by the production companies. BUT, then there's the community.

One of the strengths of Star Wreck was the fan support and how the fans helped to create the movie. The movie gathered a ton of fans all around the world and the creative crazy genius of people around the net was something that clearly should not be wasted. So, the guys built a platform for collaborative movie making called Wreckamovie.com. You should definitely take a look at that. Basically a movie maker (or a game designer, writer or whoever) can create a project there and give the fans tasks they can complete. The tasks can be really simple, like "come up with a cool name for this character", or really complicated, like "model us a spaceship". What you get is a direct line of communication between the movie makers and the fans/net community - and boy, people come up with the coolest shit in there if you just happen to ask. Here's Iron Sky and here's another crazy project that is currently on post production: Snowblind, the world's first post-apocalyptic arctic spaghetti western, with a budget of half a million euros.

But as I said, we have a terrific community that's getting bigger and more active all the time. Most of the core group are old geeks who have a good understanding on how the net works socially and practically, we really recognize that without the fan community neither Star Wreck nor Iron Sky would have ever been made. Some of the core places in the net are our blog, Facebook, Twitter and of course Wreckamovie.

About the balance... Well, as I said, everybody is on salary and right now the bigger weight is on the traditional side of funding, but crowdfunding is important also. Can't go to specifics further than that, sorry :) ]]>

Have you been getting much press coverage in Europe yet? Is there an awareness of your project in the less science-fiction oriented, less online world? This project strikes me as having a wide crossover appeal, as the high concept of Moon Nazis is absurd enough, and the concept pulled off visually beautifully enough, to have a fairly wide appeal, I suspect. In the US, I could easily see this becoming one of those "cult" films that people who don't watch cult films actually see. But it's also one of those films that will just get no wide-audience press coverage until it is actually distributed through some official channel, at which time there will be a bunch of articles about it treating it like it came out of the blue, despite the fact that you'll have a couple of years of transparently related online production notes. Are you being covered any better than that in Europe?

As far as independent filmmakers making the most of online communities, or taking readily available consumer tools to make solid genre features, it seems to me that European genre enthusiasts have been far more ambitious and adventurous than their counterparts here in the US. Here, it seems most of the energy that goes into indy filmmaking goes to self-consciously quirky romance or crime stories, or weird documentaries, but in general steers pretty clear of genre efforts other than maybe horror. Small budget feature length science fiction seems to be largely cerebral and effects-light, such as movies like Primer or Pi (both of which are quite old - I actually couldn't think of more recent valid examples of a feature length). I guess all the ambitious kids coming up with all the new cool tools here are flinging their efforts at the established system, and not reaching out to their peers as much to collaborate. In Europe right now, that seems quite different.

Do you get the sense yourself that there is this churning of peer creativity in filmed science fiction in Europe at the moment? Is there any sense that this might be a kind of nascent movement?

I hope you don't mind these interviewish questions! ]]>

Getting mainstream publicity for the movie is challenging, of course. Then again, we are only now getting into the phase of the production when we start to have a steady stream of something concrete to show. The pre-production phase is such unsexy business, just mailing budgets, propositions, plans and sponspor ship deals back and forth. Now that we are starting to have more concept art and such actual stuff to show and we are getting to within a year of the movie release, it's easier to get publicity and we are getting more active on the mainstream front. In Finland we have been covered pretty well and our director Vuorensola and producer Torssonen have been interviewed for several mainstream publications abroad too both about Star Wreck, community based movie making and Iron Sky.

We hope that the movie will end up being as you described in the first paragraph. With the script we want to avoid the obvious choices and cheap laughs, and we feel that it will have both mainstream and geek appeal ("geek" in a very loving sense, we in the core group are definitely geeks ourselves).

About the indie scifi movement, I personally think there might be something in what you are saying. There are several effects heavy indie scifi projects developed around Europe, but now that I think about it, I can't think of that many from US. Off the top of my hat I'd say that the fact that there really aren't that many "proper" high profile European scifi movies out there is a factor - doing European scifi still feels like a new and a fresh thing. In the States, on the other hand, an aspiring scifi maker will bump his head to everything from Star Trek, B5 and Star Wars to a zillion movies out there. Well, maybe the tables are turning - US is taking in cerebral stuff from European art films, and Europeans are getting into flashy effects. ]]>

There's plenty of ways to help projects like Iron Sky, we detailed some of them here: Indie Movies and the Importance of Sharing. We also started accepting crowd investments last Friday - not donations, but actual investments.

Not trying to hype anything and not really in a publicist mode when I say that it's very interesting to be involved in this. I'm currently at Cannes in our office, listening to movie execs, producers etc talk with our producers about what we are doing with the crowd participation thing. There's plenty of traditional films, there is a growing amount of hobbyist movies that are crowd funded, but it's great to see how we seem to be straddling that gap right now. Seems to blow some peoples' minds to realize that in the net there are people who can really collaborate with both the content and the finances of a film.

Here are some other indie films worth checking out. I just gave some money to The Cosmonaut last week.

You might know that we try and make a horrible amount of noise in the net - in case you are interested about our outposts online, here's a list of the most active places where you can follow the film project's antics.

Here's a new Iron Sky Signal. We are 40 days and 40 nights from starting to actually shoot the film, things are pretty exciting right now. Our director Timo will ramp up his (video)blogging, so there will be more or less daily Director's Diarys. ]]>

Iron Sky Sneak Peek. We will be revealing the first five minutes to fans before the movie is officially published - and also how we made them, from idea to scripts, animatics etc. People can choose how much that is worth - the minimum sum is one euro.

As a matter of fact we haven't had any kind of outcry or negative feedback from either a) Germans or b) Jewish people about the concept of the movie and as a matter of fact we got invited to a festival of Jewish film a while back, which is kind of interesting. There have been only a couple of people who have been offended enough about the concept that they've seen fit to speak about it to us or in some of our social media conversations. It's kind of telling that none of them have had anything to do with the groups that supposedly are insulted by the film... ]]>

We Come In Peace!" and it reveals the Iron Sky release date.

The guys at Energia Productions are hard at work cranking out the vfx for the film. If you want a small inside peek into what's happening there, our main CGI guy Samuli is doing a regularly irregular video diary from the CGI shop.

All in all, Iron Sky has been exceeding its expectations, and proven that it’s not just a film for small, obscure audiences, but a film that finds lovers among all kind of people, and that’s what we aimed for. We wanted to do a film that’s hilarious, plays well on big screen, takes the viewer on a good ride and leaves them with a thought somewhere in the back of their heads.

They're going to show the film for just one day, which isn't actually what was agreed upon. Me and the film guys would really appreciate raising some noise about this, if you can be bothered. Revolver is SERIOUSLY fucking the Iron Sky team over with this stunt.

See, when I started to work on Iron Sky, I wanted to make a cinematic experience, a film that works best when you sit in a dark room with 500 other people and watch, experience, laugh and enjoy as the epic story about the Moon Nazis unfolds in front of your eyes. Now, following the UK plan laid out by Revolver, the film is out in cinemas for only one day only (and that’s WEDNESDAY of all days).

I think this is an insult to us, the filmmakers who have been working with this film for six long years. We signed up with Revolver because we wanted to have a wide cinema release, and that’s what they promised us. But more than that, it’s an insult to all the fans, friends, followers, fan investors and everyone out there who’s been waiting all these years to see the Moon Nazi mayhem known as Iron Sky to hit the cinemas.

I'd be surprised if for example the US distributor didn't have some level of shitfit about someone publishing the film on disc before it's on theaters in there.

Not to mention that Revolver is taking a huge dump of the fans who have been waiting for this film for months or even years, helped to make it and even put their money on the movie. Now one pesky night on a motherfucking Wednesday.

And to reiterate, these are my personal opinions and musings, and they don't reflect the thoughts of the film team or the related companies, so please don't quote me on this.

If I'd have to hazard a guess, my thoughts are rather more polite and measured right now, though... ]]>

Revolver misled us by assuring us a proper cinema release during the production, but came out suddenly and last minute with their new plan, the one-day-only release, and refused to listen to our arguments against it.

We even asked our fans to contact Revolver and let them know what they think of the plan, they received thousands of comments in just few days from people who want to see Iron Sky but even that wasn’t enough for them to change their plans.

We feel this release structure is very much in line with the spirit in which the film was made, being available both on the big and small screen almost simultaneously.

Yeah? No. ]]>

The full intention of the creative side was to make a movie for theaters, for the big screen this time. Star Wreck was a film for the internet, this was a film for the silver screen.

Also, apparently those Blu-ray releases don't have the making-of materials which I spent two years hammering together.

I'm slightly... miffed now. ]]>

Today we got an email from a owner of a legendary Prince Charles Cinema in London, who has been trying to book more showings from Revolver for Iron Sky without success. After already having sold out three screening, mind you. Here’s what he had to say:

“We have been amazed by the interest in Iron Sky, having sold out two performances in only a few days we ended up putting a third late evening screening on due to the fact we are only allowed to show the film for one day theatrically. It’s such a shame as we feel there is huge audience out there wanting to see the film on a Cinema screen. Hopefully we will be able to change the film distributors attitude and get them to allow us to screen the film for a run in the near future.”

Because Revolver is not doing their job, we need to find another way. For this, it would be ideal to know directly the demand from the theaters. So, here’s a new assignment for those who want to help: contact your local film theater and ask them to extend the cinema release from Revolver, and if Revolver refuses, we would be happy to be informed of that.

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Attempts to email Revolver end (apart from one email with just one word in the subject and body) result in the awful:

Also:

They owe us a considerable sum of money – most of the Minimum Guarantee, which they should have paid already. We could prevent them from screening the film, but we won’t do that, because that wouldn’t be cool for the audience.

We wanted to let you know this because it’s an issue that’s bugging us, and we may need to act on it at one point, but so far we will hope they’ll respect their part of the agreement soon.

Thanks and congrats to all here involved - and I hope those twats at Revolver pay you. ]]>

Did you notice that Götz Otto was one of the campaign staff that was banished in the room in that scene, doing a spoof of himself in Downfall ;)

As film plots go, comedy Iron Sky is a headline-grabber: in 1945 the Nazis went to the Moon. In 2018, they are coming back to invade Earth. No wonder since its first screening at the Berlin Film Festival, it has caused both comment and controversy.

the moment where the plot hinges on the Nazis writing speeches for the Palin character was actually incredibly clever and believeable. It made me sit up and think, something I really wasn't expecting. I do think you cpould have made several different kinds of film using these VFX and this premise, but I was abaolutely happy with the film that was made. I will definitely watch it again. The most coherent, polished, satisfying B-movie I've seen in years. Bravo! The soundtrack was also brilliant. ]]>

In case you don't know, IIRC that is an actual speech by Göbbels... It was sort of chilling to hear that the first time.

white James Washington on the street, with his sign, preaching fear of Moon Nazis. Renate was fantastic too, good character development there. The President and the fashionista were terrifically over the top. All in all, it was a well spent hour and a half.

If you speak with Timo, let him know Iron Sky gets two zeppelins up from this guy. ]]>

Incredible at that budget, really.Otherwise, it was a great fun, too! The characterisations are pretty much spot on, and though I was worried about Washington's OTT "Blackness" it paid off like the setup for a good joke when we learn why he's on the moon in the first place. Julie Dietze and Götz Otto have the perfect look, with Otto every bit the square-jawed hulk of an ubermensch and Dietze gorgeous and with a playful, beguiling energy about her.

I noticed an interesting dynamic watching the film. With this being a film with a small but loyal following, and probably also related to the troubles getting it a wider release in the UK, some of the audience members seemed hyper-sensitive to any potentially funny moment in the film. Even before the film, one group in particular had kind of whipped themselves up into such a frenzy that they were laughing at every joke in the ADVERTS. Maybe they were just stoned out of their minds, but it seems that the good-will the process of creating and releasing the film has generated leaves fans more READY to be entertained by it, which I'm not saying is a good or a bad thing. It's just an observation I made.

I have a feeling Iron Sky will get funnier every time I watch it, so I'm looking forward to a (PROPER) DVD release. :) ]]>

Iron Sky Gets Nationwide Distribution in United States!

We are thrilled to announce that Iron Sky will have nationwide distribution in United States, Starting Now! Usually this would not be possible for independent film.. that comes from Finland.. and has Space Nazis in it. But because of our wonderful fans, You, We are now standing in the position where anything is possible. It is the Land of Opportunities, right? Where do we land?

Fucking busy" with classes, so I don't want to take on the task, but I can and will make it to any evening (6pm or later) showing.

Uah, a slight threadjack, but with Iron Sky there's been this certain quotient of utter nutbags who saw all kinds of weird references and conspiracies behind the film. I think this is the best one so far in terms of sheer elaborateness. Paranoid schizophrenia is not a laughing matter, but damn, this guy got me at the Batman logo :D

LOVED the film, silly, amazing and dedicated to telling its story! Bravo. ]]>

Total bullshit, or is there a thread of legal foundation for her to stand on? I'm checking with other people more law-smart than me, but I thought I'd toss this out to the crew for feedback.

It's over, good wins, thief decides to take it down, not wanting to have a "misunderstanding", blah blah blah. Winning stroke: Director of IRON SKY drops her a comment, tells her I did the poster for HIM, not her to fuck up, and voila! Problem solved.
